Air Horns - Toyota Yaris Forums

Lizardboy · 08-31-2006, 02:11 PM

Has anyone installed air horns in an 07 sedan? If so, where did you locate them in the engine bay and where is the factory horn located? Also, what length of horns has anyone installed? If anyone else is interested in this, here are two sites that sell a variety of them.

Inexpensive, lower end:
http://www.wolo-mfg.com/

Expensive, higher end:
www.hornblasters.com

BTW, check out some of the videos on hornblasters. Pretty funny stuff.

For LB, the horn is behind the grille and in front of the radiator. I think the sedan will be in the same location.

Awesome! Thanks! That was my guess. I just didnt' get a chance to check it this morning before I left for work. Hopefully, there will be enough room for some 12 inch horns in there. :)

Dont forget the air tank, compressor, valve, pressure switch and interior gauge and switch you will still need to mount... thats if your still talking about the Train Horns.

Oh no. I'm not planning on a train horn. I would love to, but all the space lost and weight gained doesn't make it sound too attractive. I'm just thinking of a cheap, twin trumpet setup with a little compressor. The trumpets are roughly 12" long. It's the Model 417 Long Horn made by Wolo, http://www.wolo-mfg.com/air.htm. Has anyone tried any of the Wolo horns.

You need the bumper off to get access to the horn but there isn't much room if you are thinking of anything too thick. My horns just clear the grill area.

The horn I was considering has two trumpets which are roughly 12" long. Think they might fit there? I was considering mounting them somewhere between the engine and the firewall.

There's a good bit of space behind the liftback nose. I don't know about the sedan.

I'm putting these in: http://www.autosupermart.com/store/shop/piaa85112.html

When are you ordering? Id like to install the same, if you want to get together one weekend.

So, would you agree with SmellyToFu that the bumber needs to come off to access that space?

Violin · 09-01-2006, 02:09 PM

I ordered them already - they shipped the other day and I hope to have them today. I'm planning on installing them this weekend along with my head unit.

But yes, we should get together sometime - perhaps do a dual cruise control install.

On the liftback - yes.

It comes off pretty easily - hasher did a pretty good how-to that showed how to get the bumper off: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1525

Wow, that does sound pretty easy. Thanks!

SmellyTofu · 09-01-2006, 05:46 PM

Yes it's easy.. just a pain in the @$$ to do it. :)

It's hard to show it but here's my horns.. there's not a lot of clearance (maybe a finger thick) between the bellow part of the horn and the grill.
